Created in a vibrant array of DeVere silk threads and Japanese metal thread, the Borage & Pansy design joins our Dunollie Castle Collection. Another stunning creation by Deborah Wilding, this design is a celebration of classical Elizabethan silk and metal thread embroidery.

This design recreates an incredible set of embroidered fragments belonging to the MacDougall of Dunollie Preservation Trust at Dunollie Castle near Oban, and features a quartet of British flowers - Borage, Rose, Pansy and a spectacular bright green leaf to balance.

A selection of stitches and techniques can be mastered with this design, including silk shading, Block Shading, Herringbone Stitch, Elizabethan Spider's Web, Elizabethan Braid Stitch, Ladder Stitch, Surface Couching, and Split Stitch.
